Hello everybody on cliosport!
this is my first time on this forum and i need some help on my dilemma i have at the momment!
At the momment i drive a v reg saxo vtr and i am a fully paid up member of the saxo sports club.
I love the car immenseley but its starting to rust quite badley so i need to change cars next year for that reason.
Im a mechanic by trade and was going to carry out a vts transplant on the car which is quite easy but with this problem comming to light a new car is the way forward and my other work colleagues said why spend all that money making a slow car fast bearing in mind that a saxo vts only has 120bhp as standard when i could buy a quick car in the first place!
A mate who is a car trader has suggested that i should get a clio 172/182 or cup and said he would find me the right car at trade price for me the only other options i have are to replace it with a c2 gt 110bhp or saxo vts.
Im up for a clio as i like the look of them and it would be a change as i have had peugeots and citreons since i have passed my driving test.
My questions are:
Would you recommend a clio and what model?
Do they suffer alot of rust problems im talking about clio2 models?
Any problems that i should look out for?
Im hoping to do track days in the near future so any help would be greatfull!
Thanks for reading this essay! tony!
